The electronically adjustable pedal generator in the TWIKE 5 mutates from a range extender to a life extender. Because ” regular physical exercise lowers the risk of chronic diseases, contributes to mental well-being and reduces mortality”, according to a unanimous consensus in scientific articles on this topic.
In the early days of the TWIKE 3, the reduction in electrical energy consumption by up to 15% tended to reduce range anxiety, so the electronic evaluation of the sporting contribution in the TWIKE 5 will focus more on the physical fitness of its users.
The display of the power output, cadence and energy output over time enables the user to create a training program tailored to their needs, prevents overloading and motivates them to pedal in a healthy way.
The pedal system is ergonomically optimally coordinated with the seat position and arrangement of the side-stick steering, while the back pedal is connected to the hydraulic brake system. As with the pedal system used on the TWIKE 3 for a quarter of a century, it is not absolutely necessary to pedal in order to ride forwards. However, the feedback in the display and the electronically optimized resistance will encourage you to make an even more sporty contribution.
